I Can't Believe It's Not Valley of the Dolls! is a delightful romp through nostalgia, capturing the essence of drag performance and the campy spirit of its predecessor. JENS RADDA and IVA ROSEBUD embody Neely O’Hara and Helen Lawson with such flair that you almost forget the original's melodrama. Shot on Super 16mm, the grainy texture adds a vintage charm that feels both authentic and endearing. The pacing has this lovely ebb and flow, mixing laugh-out-loud moments with genuine emotional beats, which keeps you engaged. The practical effects, like wigs and costumes, are what really shine here, evoking a sense of craft that’s often lost in today’s digital age. It's a tribute, sure, but it carves its own little niche in the drag and comedy landscape.
